Slavonice Tourist Information
This town arose in the 13th century in the border area between south Bohemia and south Moravia, which is known as the "Czech Canada" due to its harsh climate and nature. The economic and building explosion was started in the second half of the 15th century and especially in the 16th century, when the post station of the route between Prague and Vienna was established. Citizen houses with Renaissance facades, which are often richly decorated with letter and figure "sgraffitos" and which contain an entry hall ("mazhaus") with a vault, are typical features of Slavonice. The Gothic Church of Virgin Mary Ascension along with two gateways create the silhouette of the town. Due to the displacement of the trunk communication routes in the 19th century the economic development of the town was stopped. Thanks to this fact outstanding sights from the late Gothic and Renaissance period were preserved here to present day. The town has become an attractive destination for lovers of restful areas. The Fratres Cultural Bridge, which has been established by the associations of "Kulturbrücke Fratres" and the "Slavonic Renaissance Society" (Slavonicka renesancni společnost), is a significant supraregional cultural project. It supports the cultural life in the region and the solidarity among Austrian and Czech inhabitants.
